Eternal Progression

Keynote speech at the Mormon Tranhumanist Association conference.

I'm not a Mormon, but I find Mormon cosmology interesting. So I argue here for an eternal progression of deities, which evolve into gods and goddesses. I argue for theosis, and for the evolution of all rational beings into transfinite polyamorous networks.

And there's a video of my talk!
